Official Info

  • In the first timeline, Madoka, along with Mami, saved Homura from a familiar. However, upon the end of this timeline, Madoka dies during the fight with Walpurgis Night.
  • In a later timeline, Madoka is the one to task Homura to prevent her from becoming a Puella Magi.
  • Madoka's fate is sealed to either dying or becoming a witch, with Homura trying to prevent this.
  • According to a recent interview, "Madoka had her personality based on an 'Ume Aoki character'"
  • In the final episode, Madoka ends up wishing to be able to go to all times and stop all witches from being born. This changes the very fabric of reality where Madoka is god that nobody remembers except for Homura. However, in this new reality, demons caused by distortions form, thus still giving Puella Magi purpose.

Speculations and Observations

  • Madoka's power seems to increase exponentially, within each timeline. The first time she was merely an ordinary magical girl. In the last timeline she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in the witch form she was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all Kyubey's energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey is claiming that Madoka's power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. It may be interpreted as Kyubey giving her hint of what to wish for, telling her that she can revive her friends or change rules of this world, but Madoka is incapable of imagining her own power.
    • This can be related to Homura's wish which is contradictory to Madoka's fate. Since magical girl's wishes must be always fulfilled and fate cannot be changed, it requires to changing the rules in order to exit the cycle, and only way to do that is to make a wish.
    • Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi's power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura's resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka's fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centred around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.
  • Confirmed as of Episode 12; Madoka's magic is powerful enough to create a parallel universe and is destroyed by her witch transformation at the end of time.
  • In the last two episodes Madoka gains her original strong character back
  • Madoka and Mami are the only Puellae Magi known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). Homura, Kyouko and Sayaka all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.
    • Madoka is also never seen with her Soul Gem in a ring form.


  • Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room.
  • It is revealed in the Drama CD that takes place during the events of Episode 10 that the reason she became a Puella Magi was to save the life of a cat from being run over by a car.[1]
